How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in Maplewood
A little preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and the steps below apply to most homes in Maplewood.
- Keep a note of when it started, what you have seen, and whether it is getting worse — dates and signs help the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, shut off the water main only if you can reach it without stepping in water. Never walk through standing water to reach a shut-off or a switch, and keep away from electrics in or near standing water.
- Leave sewage water alone — cleanup of sewage is a job for the visit, not for the homeowner. Keep children and pets out of the affected room.
- For a rental, tell the landlord or property manager as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
Stay out of a flooded basement, and keep clear of standing water near electrical outlets or appliances.
